The reason this hasn't been included is that there doesn't seem so be a 
very elegant way to do it that keeps everything completely customizable, 
but there a few ways it could maybe be done...

As far as sorting by different fields, one thing I was trying was a XUL 
log viewer which stores log data in an RDF file.  There's a profile 
included that started to attempt this, but doesn't really work as-is. 
(if you use Thunderbird, it would work sort of like the Inbox - sortable 
by any column, hide/show different columns, etc).  It also might be 
possible to make a simple change to the default XSLT file used for the 
default XML log format... I'm not sure. (like it currently has 
checkboxes for hiding some columns, it could maybe have a listbox to 
choose the sort-by column...)
